Book Description

About the Book Narcotic drugs is a much discussed topic today with more and more youngsters 'coming into its grips'. Faced with the twin problems of drug trafficking and drug abuse primarily due to its strategic geographic location between the 'Golden Triangle' and the 'Golden Crescent-the two great hubs of illicit drug trafficking-India is fast emerging as a major transit station for drug smuggling. This book helps to uncover some of the lesser known facts on drugs of abuse, their interesting stories through the ages, their chemistry and their effects on the body, besides throwing scientific light on the mechanisms of addiction.

About the Author Anil Aggrawal obtained his doctorate in forensic medicine from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences before acquiring further training from the University of Edinburgh. At present he is teaching at the Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi.

Prologue 'Narcotic drugs' is a much discussed topic today. Fre-quently we get to read about narcotic drugs being seized by custom officials at airports. More and more youngsters are 'coming into its grips'. Today we face the twin problems of drug trafficking and drug abuse on a much larger scale than at any time in the past. Our country's geographic location between the major illicit supply areas of the world has added to our problems. Sandwiched between South-East Asian countries-Burma, Thailand and Laos (known as the 'Golden Triangle') and the Near and Middle East countries-Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran (known as the 'Golden Crescent'), which are the two great hubs of illicit drug trafficking, India has emerged as a major transit coun-try for the smuggling of drugs. In addition, there is Nepal in the north which is a major source of supply of marijuana and hashish in the world market

Acknowledgements I wish to thank my friend Mr P.K.Chakraverty, Surveyor of Her Majesty's Customs at London Heathrow Airport, who encouraged me wholeheartedly during the preparation of this book. He also provided me with some valuable material appearing in the book. During my stay in London, I had an opportunity to interact with him at close quarters, and benefited greatly from his vast experience in narcotic control.
